Grant, BC</blockquote>

''{Cut to a view of Strong Bad's desk. Strong Bad is severely ill and curled up into a ball under the table, coughing and shivering. A box of tissues that reads "Tish You!", lies next to him along with a mess of used up tissues. }''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{coughing}'' The Cheat! Get in here with my puke pail. ''{coughing}'' And bring me some tissues. Lots more {sneezes} AHHHH!,tish eewwss!

''{Homestar walks in from the right of the screen with a thermometer in his mouth and a huge green ooze coming out of his nose}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, my burps smell really bad. Check this out. ''{making breathing noises}'' Hang on.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh. Go away. I can't smell anything anyways.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I'm betting you can smell these!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, well you're lucky it's your burps that smell. DO NOT go into Strong Mad's room. Or, as I've taken to calling it, Rotten Egglünd.

''{Cut to outside Strong Mad's room. The door is covered with police tape that reads "Quarantine!". There is a green haze coming out from the bottom of the door.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' SOMEBODY HEEEEELP!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad and Homestar in the Computer Room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh. The Cheat! What's taking so long with my tissues?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{in a green bucket that reads "Puke Pail for Him!"}'' ''(crying noises)''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{coughing}'' Oh well. I guess I'll just re-use some of these already re-reused ones. ''{grabs a tissue}'' Ow! They're pointy now!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, I don't think you're going to be able to answer your word problem this week. So I'll take one for the team. Two trains enter a tunnel going four miles per hour. At what time do they reach Poughkeepsie?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{groans and coughs while speaking}'' The Paapeeeer!

''{The Paper comes down, with a distorted noise. It appears crinkled and says "Strong Bad, I can't come in today".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh no, not you too! Can I blow my nose on you?

''{The Paper goes back up.}''

===Remarks===

===Goofs===
*Clicking the [[Lappy]] does not cause the screen to ripple like it normally does.
*The bags under Strong Bad's eyes disappear shortly after his remark about Strong Mad's room, although they reappear later.
*When Strong Bad's eye bags disappear, the tint of his face changes.

===Inside References===
*The Paper's retraction at the end may be a reference to it being scared near the end of [[animal]].
